What if Everybody Dies? The Canadian invasion ended (mostly) peacefully. None of the survivors remembers zombies, werewolves or vampires roaming the streets, except the seven former people Robert-leader of the invasion- "chose" as his soldiers. But the war isn't over. Fed up with humanity's greed and wastefulness, God has flipped the switch for Armageddon, and Brian, Steve, Tony, Travis, Katrina, Hanna and Chris set out to stop the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The task is made near impossible with the interference of an apathetic Jesus, though. In the end, they must decide if they're willing to sacrifice themselves to save the humans they desperately want to eat. **Warning** This book contains adult content, including sex, language and humor that some may find offensive. I hate disclaimers like this, because the title should say it all, but I want to spare anyone with delicate feelings and such the trauma of my salacious and irreverent sense of humor.
